The Rooster Posted June 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 4, 2019 Greetings all. It was a toss up for me where to post these. They are Steel Helmets with accessories. I could have put these in the flight helmet section. But I thought I'd put them here. And with the M1's around them I figured what the heck. M3-M4A2-M5 Flak Helmets Covering A11 And A13 Flight helmets all but 1 with receivers and o2 masks 2 bail out bottles goggles.. All The steel helmets are in great shape, some with some rust . All the chin straps are there. They seem sort of thin to me metal wise. The M4A2 with its layered plates feels like the only one that would have a good chance of stopping fast moving shrapnel. I don't really know of course, but it is the most solid of the 3. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rooster Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted June 4, 2019 5 The webbing in the M3 and Both the M5's is intact and pristine even. The felt ear pads are intact on the M3 and the M4 A2 I doubt was ever worn or even issued. Its that clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-59A Posted June 4, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 4, 2019 You are on a slippery slope my friend. I started out the same way. At first a little was good, but then I found I needed more. Before I knew it I was in over my head. Find help while you can. The monkey on your back will now become a 500 lbs gorilla in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
